doug mckelway is live for us. doug? >> reporter: former cia director david petraeus voluntarily agreed to testify before house and senate intelligence committees. fox has learned he will speak off site on friday to the senate intelligence committee about the libya report. presumably that it means his testimony will be closed and not open to the public. recall that director petraeus briefed intelligence committees on september 14th, three days after the benghazi attack and said that the attack was akin to a flashmob that is explanation moments ago chairman of the house homeland security committee peter king suggested may have been dishonest. >> i was just talking to frank lobioni on the intelligence committee with me, documents we see, intelligence prior to general petraeus coming in, it is impossible to believe that he thought he was giving honest testimony. >> reporter: while not going that far other members of the intelligence committees want answers from petraeus. >> does make you wonder because the cia has now repor

he said you can push us push us, and push us and we'll be accommodating but you have to compromise. as if to say republicans or the house members, house republicans are the ones who need to compromise in the upcoming legislative session? >> well, i'll tell you house republicans feel of two mind right now. they actually don't want to have a middle class tax hike on their shoulders if the president calls the bluff and let he is all of the tax cuts expire because republicans wouldn't raise taxes on the top brackets. they don't want that on their heads. they think that would be damaging to them politically. they're looking 2014 where they want to take back majority in the senate and consolidate their majority in the house. they don't want a fight devastating takes them two years to try to recover from it. they're looking to move past this as quickly as possible, without compromising their principles but with compromising that the fiscal cliff issue is off the table. president obama doesn't have the leverage he is boasting about however because he wants a debt ceiling increase all in the

they're doing right by us. i can't ask for much else. >> reporter: so a lot of people have had their homes and much of their lives destroyed, rick. but i have to say the spirit of these people certainly has not been destroyed. rick: well that's good to see. that woman was talking about no lights and no gas, no water. what are you hearing and what are people saying about the recovery efforts on the ground? >> well, generally speaking they're pretty happy that con-ed has tried to get in here, tried to do what it can. con edison, which is responsible for the power in this part of new york, says that they have restored it pretty much across the board but there are a few pockets. and as governor andrew cuomo, the democratic governor of new york said, if 99% of people have got power but you're the 1% that hasn't, it doesn't matter that they're patting themselves on the back for the 99%. we spoke to one woman today said in her situation it is not entirely con-ed's fault that they haven't yet got power. listen to this.

he joins us now. senator john mccain said in the past he would block any attempt to nominate susan rice to become, u.n., i'm sorry, secretary of state. she is currently the u.n. ambassador. he seems to be backing away from that. what do you make of that? >> i think benghazi was generally behind by this network especially. now that the campaign is over i think he is walking backing off a little bit. they will not stop susan rice from being secretary of state. jon: when you have four people dead in 30 years, how do you call that hype. >> how many security contractors died in iraq? do you know? jon: i don't. >> nobody does because nobody cared. we know several hundred died but there was never official count of security contractors in iraq. when i say this focus was essentially a small firefight i think number one, i covered a lot of firefight is. it is impossible to figure out what happens in them sometimes. i think the emphasis on benghazi has been extremely political partly because fox is operating as
